In 1893, foreign residents of Honolulu, consisting mostly of Americans, instigated a coup d'etat against Queen Liliuokalani who reigned until then over the Kingdom of Hawaii. Using the unrest as a pretext they then urged John L. Stevens, the American foreign minister, to call in the U.S. marines to protect American interests, an action which effectively supported their rebellion. The Republic of Hawaii was thus born and annexation, their ultimate goal, finally occured in 1898.
